Widmark borrowed from his bag of tricks


I was startled by how Richard Widmark played the scene with Henry Fonda, the one when he ran into the Commissioner while looking for a telephone. He seemed like another character from 18 years before - Harry Fabian, his character in Night and the City. He borrowed from his one-way dialog with his rival in promoting wrestling and his real boss, Phil.

Totally agree, btw, is it really borrowing if it's his bag?

Good point.
